40 Years of Art, Artists, and Exchanges Revealing Life

Salina Art Center hosts 40th Anniversary Gala

Salina, Kan. (April 8, 2018) The Salina Art Center celebrates with a 40th Anniversary Gala on Friday, April 27, 2018 at 6pm at Marymount Properties in Salina. Tickets are on sale now at www.SalinaArtCenter.org.

The historic setting of Marymount is a fitting venue for Salina Art Center’s 40th Anniversary Gala. From its majestic hilltop location, Marymount College was a dynamic leader in Salina’s cultural life from its founding in 1922 until its closing in 1989. The faculty and visiting artists brough memorable experiences in the visual arts, drama, dance and music to Salina audiences. That legacy is honored in the Art Center’s four decades.

Marvel at the architectural details and celebrate in the building’s grand foyer with hors d’oeuvres and drinks, then enjoy an unforgettable experience in the elegant dining room. The exclusive menu features four courses with wine pairings and is the creative culinary genius of Chef Eric Shelton. Featured speaker for the evening is Saralyn Reece Hardy, Marilyn Stokstad Director at the Spencer Museum of Art and former longtime director of the Salina Art Center.
